Mrs T Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 My sister Ms Emily T is thinking of moving to the Sussex seaside town of Littlehampton and asks what the BB service is like. She knows its a town on the edge of nothing except for fishing and boating, the sea and a river, and doesn't expect a lot. Anyone have a thought ?

Barryd999 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I usually use the BT ADSL checker which allows you to put in either a phone number if you have one or the postcode checker which isnt as accurate allows you to put in a post code. I just put in the postcode of the town council and the results that came back look like it could be very good. It all depends though how far the property is from the exchange where the broadband comes from. Anything up to 3 miles should be good. 3-5 miles it starts to slow down considerably and 6 miles and beyond you will either get nothing or very slow broadband. BROADBAND AVAILABILITY CHECKER For Postcode BN17 5EW Available Products Downstream Line Rate(Mbps) Upstream Line Rate(Mbps) Downstream Range(Mbps) Availability Date Featured Products WBC ADSL 2+ Up to 17 -- 10 to 19.5 Available ADSL Max Up to 7.5 -- 6.5 to 8 Available WBC Fixed Rate 2 -- -- Available Fixed Rate 2 -- -- Available For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage. Throughput/download speeds will be less than line rates and can be affected by a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises. The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 31-Dec-2013.

Most accurate results can be obtained from a telephone number check. Thank you for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Generally no problems with BB in Littlehampton it is part of a fairly densely built up coastal strip certainly not a little seaside town with nothing but boats and a river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/SDLTTLH Of cause it depends just where in Littlehampton she will be living, but could be up to 76Mbs, and for LLU the big three are all there.
